A New Pilgrimage: Sonnet Xxvii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBAAACDCDEE| The poets every one have sung of passion | A |
| But which has sung of friendship man with man | B |
| Love seeks its price but friendship has a fashion | A |
| Larger to give and of less selfish plan | B |
| The world grows old From Beersheba to Dan | B |
| We find all barren ruby lips grown ashen | A |
| Hearts hard with years and only Jonathan | A |
| Weeping with David o'er a ruined nation | A |
| Then in the depth of days and our despair | C |
| We count our treasures if so be remain | D |
| Some loving letters rings and locks of hair | C |
| Nay mourn not love These only are not vain | D |
| Your manlier wounds when in the front you stood | E |
| For a friend's sake and your sworn Brotherhood | E |
